> The flushing thread will wait for the other thread to complete the Runnable WriteRequest. Thats fine. But when some exception happened while blob.uploadPages, we just set that to lastError state variable.  This variable is been checked for all subsequent ops like write, flush etc.  But what about the current flush call? that is silently being succeeded.!!  
> In standard Azure backed HBase clusters WAL is on page blob. This issue causes a serious issue in HBase and causes data loss! HBase think a WAL write was hflushed and make row write successful. In fact the row was never gone to storage.
> Checking the lastError variable at the end of flush op will solve the issue. Then we will throw IOE from this flush() itself.
